Neville Goddard on Isaiah 33:20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 33 in context

Scripture Focus

20Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

Isaiah 33:20

Biblical Context

Zion is described as an unshakable inner sanctuary, and Jerusalem as a quiet dwelling whose anchors remain fixed and cords unbroken.

Neville's Inner Vision

Look upon Zion as the present act of awareness. Zion is not a distant place but the state of consciousness you inhabit now, the I AM that remains whole amid any storm. When you focus on Jerusalem—your inner quiet dwelling—you awaken to a tabernacle that cannot be toppled. Its stakes are immovable because they are anchored in your sustained awareness, and its cords remain unbroken because your sense of self is anchored to the I AM, not to shifting appearances. The permanence of Zion is a sealing of your inner reality: imagination is the creator of you, and belief is the rope that binds you to this sanctuary. Whether the outer world rages or calms, you return to this interior city and find the same stillness. Make Zion your governing state now, and let the outer world reflect that unwavering interior peace.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are already dwelling in Zion, the quiet habitation. Feel the stakes fixed and the cords unbroken, and rest in that reality as your daily living.
